What Is a Pair of Footwear?

Footwear in this store is boudoir and costume footwear: high platform sandals, stiletto ankle boots and thigh-high stretch boots, almost all from Ellie Shoes, the American brand that makes them for exactly this. Heels run 5" to 6" with platforms underneath, so the height is dramatic and the pitch is manageable.

It is bought to go with lingerie, a costume or a night out that ends at home. Our footwear range has close to 60 pairs across a handful of styles, each in several finishes and a full run of US sizes.

Are Footwear Right for You?

If you are buying lingerie or a costume for her and want the outfit finished, this is the last piece. If she already has a drawer of heels, a thigh-high stretch boot is the one thing she probably does not own and the one that changes the whole look.

It suits blokes completing a gift, couples dressing up for a night in, hens and costume parties, and anyone who wants heels that photograph well. It pairs with the lingerie guide, the costume guide and the legwear guide for the rest of the outfit.

The honest trade-off is that 6" heels are for the bedroom and the party, not the walk to the venue; get her size right, because exchanges take time; and stretch boots fit calves and thighs well but need a steady hand to zip the first time.

Types of Footwear: Which One Suits You?

Footwear here comes in three types, and coverage plus heel decide the look: platform sandals, slip-on platforms, and boots.

Strappy platform sandals

A 6" heel on a platform with an ankle strap that holds the foot in place. The Sandal 6" is the classic; the Sandal 6" and Sandal 6" are the same sandal in two other finishes.

Slip-on platform sandals

Same 6" platform without the ankle strap, so they go on and off in a second. The Slip On Sandal 6" sells best, and the Slip On Sandal 6", Slip On Sandal 6" and Slip On Sandal 6" are further finishes of the same shoe.

Boots

The Thigh High Stretch Boot 5" is a 5" thigh-high stretch boot that covers the leg to the top of the thigh; the Thigh High Stretch Boot 5" is its second finish. The Stiletto Ankle Boot W Inner Zipper 6" is a 6" stiletto ankle boot with an inner zip, the sharpest silhouette in the range.

How to Choose Your First Pair of Footwear

Choose in this order: her size, then heel height, then coverage, then finish. Size is the one that cannot be fixed with a shrug.

1. Size: check her shoe size and convert to US

Ellie Shoes is US women's sizing. Look at a pair she owns and convert, or ask; a size up is safer than a size down for a platform. Every style here comes in the full run.

2. Heel: 5" for walking, 6" for the look

The Thigh High Stretch Boot 5" boot's 5" heel is the most wearable in the range. The 6" sandals and the Stiletto Ankle Boot W Inner Zipper 6" ankle boot sit on platforms, which is what makes them possible to stand in.

3. Coverage: sandal, ankle or thigh

A sandal like the Sandal 6" shows the whole leg and suits lingerie. An ankle boot frames the calf. A thigh-high covers the leg and is the outfit on its own.

4. Finish: match the outfit

Each style comes in a few finishes; pick the one that matches what she will wear it with. The Slip On Sandal 6" slip-on is the safe neutral if you are unsure.

Materials & Body-Safety

Ellie Shoes uses patent or matte synthetic uppers over a moulded platform and heel, with a padded insole and a non-slip sole. The stretch boots have a lycra-blend upper over a zip, so they fit a range of calves and thighs. Nothing here is leather, which keeps the price where it is.

Synthetic uppers wipe clean and do not stretch much, so the size on the box is the size you get. Check the strap buckles and zips on arrival and store the boots flat or on a boot shaper so the uppers do not crease.

How to Use a Pair of Footwear

Sandals: sit, put the foot in, fasten the ankle strap so it holds without pinching, and stand on a firm floor first. A platform 6" heel is stable; the trick is short steps and heel first.

Stretch boots: unzip fully, point the toe, work the boot up the leg, then zip slowly with the fabric held smooth. The first time takes a minute; after that it is quick.

Practice walking on carpet before tiles. These shoes are for the bedroom and the party, and the best way to enjoy them is to stop pretending otherwise.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

Wipe patent uppers with a damp cloth and matte uppers with a dry one; a little glass cleaner brings patent back to a shine. Let the insoles air after wear.

Store sandals in their box and boots flat or on a shaper, away from heat, which softens the synthetic. Check heel tips and replace them at a cobbler when they wear through.
